Fire Night by Penelope Douglas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Nothing, not even Devil’s Night, was more magical, because tonight was the longest night of the year. It was special.”
The clock at St. Killian’s chimes as whispers float in the dark staircase above.
Snow falls from the black sky beyond the windows, and candles glow, the flames lighting up the longest night of the year.
😈
Devil’s Night isn’t the only holiday we celebrate. Tonight, we’re pulling on a different mask.
👺
Some call it Midwinter.
Others call it Yule.
We call it Fire Night.

“Don’t you trust it?” I asked her.
“What?”
“That this will never end.”

This was another novella (like Concave) and it takes place on Fire Night, which is a holiday the group created for themselves and the town of Thunder Bay. It takes place on the winter solstice (longest night of the year) and they only use fire light (no electric lights) on that night. The entire town is lit by candles, lanterns, fires and such and there is a huge gathering, a dance, a feast, and later a lock in for the kids.
The night is a joyous occasion, though our four horsemen and their families forgot that they have made enemies and allowing hundreds of people in masks into their event with only two security guards was not a good idea. Something wicked is afoot and some of the masked strangers have evil in mind. That is all I will say, but this was a great little novella to wrap up the series.
